Thrifty: Fashion Edition

So I am sure by know you are aware of our love for shopping at thrift stores and garage sales. We have found some of the coolest things while shopping at them. The great thing about thrifty shopping is that you can find awesome things without spending a fortune. Today's addition of Thrifty Thursday includes cute clothes we have found for just a few dollars!

 

First up we have a cute Peter Pan Collar dress. Typically these dresses retail for around $35, it felt like we were stealing this one by paying  just $2!

Next, we have a royal blue top with lace shoulders. This shirt can be used as casual or paired with a nice necklace for a classier look. A top like this would normally retail for around $30, but we picked this one up for just $1.

This black sundress is great for a day of shopping or even a night out. Sundresses normally sell for about $35, we found this cute one for just $2 at a garage sale.

Here we have a Peter Pan Collar tank, similar to the first dress. This tank can be paired with a cute pair of dress pants to give off a more professional vibe. This type of tank can be bought at most stores for around $35, we found this at a garage sale for only $1!!

Last we have a simple, red and black dress. This sort of dress can be found for up to $25, but once again we got a great deal and only paid $3 (and it was brand new with tags!)

You can find great deals at the thrift store or even a garage sale. Before you shut out the idea of going to a thrift store, try it! Go to a couple (because not all thrift stores are good) and see what you can come up with! Thrift shopping can help you find things that no one else has and save money. Not all clothes you find at a thrift store are going to be perfect or your style, but before leaving the store empty handed think of the potential some clothes have. Even if you find something that you only kind of like, you can always add to it or change it up a bit to fit your personal style. With thrift shopping the things you can create are endless and its not a huge investment so you can feel better about trying different things! We always find awesome things we never imagined we could use. That's the great thing about thrift shopping, you never know what great treasures you will find.

When you go, take photos and tag us on instagram! We'd love to see what you find! Happy Thrifting! xoxo, Britt + Sky

3 years and counting

Today marks three years that I have been married to my best friend. It seems so crazy to  think that it has already been that long. It seems like just yesterday we were in the 5th grade "going out." :) That's right we are elementary sweethearts. Crazy right?

We have grown up together and have been through so much together and I can't wait to see what God has planned for the rest of our years. I am just so thankful to have Jake by my side.

Tour: Noah's Nursery

As promised you get an inside look at Mr. Noah's nursery!

Noah's Nursery Tour #myonlysunshineblog

Decorating Noah's nursery has been so fun for me. Since he surprised us and came seven and a half weeks early, I did not have it ready when he arrived, but five months after his arrival it is done ... for the most part :)

I tried to find fun pieces that worked for a nursery, but would also work for Noah as he gets older. I like to mix a variety of new and old and handmade things. I really enjoyed finding and making all of the different pieces to go in his room.

I adore Noah's gallery wall! It is probably my favorite part of the nursery. I love that when I change Noah's diaper he just lays there and smiles at his wall. He is especially a fan of the Heroes & Villains poster. (find it here) You can find a tutorial for the moon phase print here and our gold frame post here.

Even before Noah was born, I had already decided that he needed a teepee. This is one of those things that is really more for me than him at this point, (shhh don't tell) but I can not wait for us to read in there. 

I hope you loved your tour! xo, Britt
